| Abstract: |
The evaluation involved the opening of three trenches: two measuring 10 m x 2 and one measuring 8 m x 2 m. The two larger trenches were located to the south of the existing Manor House, within the footprint of the proposed subterranean spa. These two trenches were within an area currently covered by a lawn. The 8 m x 2 m trench was targeted on the proposed guest house to the north of the Manor House. The trench layout is shown on Fig. 2. It was necessary to slightly adjust the the exact placing of trenches 1 and 3 from those shown in the WSI to avoid trees. Oxford Archaeology have undertaken a trial trench evaluation within the grounds of The Manor House in Ham, London Borough of Richmond, related to a proposed development at the site. Three trenches were opened, one to the north of the house on the footprint of a proposed guest house and two to the south of the house, targeted on the site of a proposed sunken spa. The trench to the north of the house did not contain any archaeological features but the two trenches to the south each contained features apparently relating to the existing house and subsequent alteration. Two possible quarry pits were revealed, backfilled with construction waste as well as a garden feature apparently relating to the early phase of the house. Other features relating to tree planting in the garden were also found as features relating to later drainage. |
